If the police do have reasonable cause to believe something is hidden in the car they could get a warrant and tear it apart like was done in the French Connection. The police don’t start trying the controls looking for hidden compartments for a routine traffic stop. I don’t remember many details, I think this happened in the 80s, but it’s clear the police didn’t have trouble uncovering the secret compartment once they suspected it was there. Once the police suspected this vehicle was involved the police stopped it following another robbery and examined the car closely enough to find the hidden compartment the jewelry was stashed in. I remember home burglary jewelry thieves in New York being caught after their high end car was spotted in the vicinity of several thefts, and even stopped at least once, but no sign of any stolen jewelry in the car. The murder weapon was hidden thusly, and Lennie seemed to think such oddball combinations were common, I would have never thought of anything like that. * L&O, Everybody Loves Raimondos was on last night. If people appropriate switches from things like the radio or heater to make a secret stash box lock, does the radio and the heater still work? How does one make a secret combination from different systems? The radio and the heater and whatnot aren’t interconnected. Is this realistic, or is this just another TV contrivance with no basis in reality (like silenced revolvers) that everyone just uses over and over? More TV BS “facts”? I have no trouble with the concept of secret compartments, it’s the access that bugs me. “Push the radio, the heater, and the cigarette lighter” *, and the compartment pops open. Maybe inside the passenger airbag compartment, maybe under the floor, and it is opened by some combination of regular controls.

We also tell you how to find and access them so you can protect your personal belongings. The Volkswagen Golf GTI has several places to hide your valuable items. Underneath the cup holder is a small nook to store keys. Behind the vents on the dashboard and below the center console are other locations that have enough space to store some valuable items like passports and expensive electronics. The Toyota Avalon is a favorite for large families. For this reason, they have incorporated a number of hidden compartments that allow you to keep personal items out of sight. One of the most impressive spots is a hidden chamber underneath the trunk that can be opened by pressing a button located below the trunk. Infiniti G35Īlthough the manufacturing of the Infiniti G35 has been terminated, many are still on the road, and owners may not even know how about its hidden compartments. The armrest of the seats are foldable and contain a secret cavity to stash items of value. This spot can be found in the backseat area and can also be found in other models, including the G35 and G37. The Volkswagen Passat has installed a number of concealed locations to hide your belongings. On the left side of the dashboard, there is a spot to keep important items safe.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee hasn’t specified any hidden compartments in its manual, but some owners have found them. One of the more impressive spots is a hidden area below the bin, located next to the power plug. If you pull the bin up with some force, you will find a chamber below which can be used to store all of your important items. ![]()
